Abstract: The article focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of the MachVision rice analyzer, an AI-integrated tool, for estimating head rice yield (HRY) compared to conventional laboratory methods across various U.S. rice cultivars. HRY is a critical metric in determining the commercial value of rice, as it reflects the proportion of whole kernels after milling. The study found that while the MachVision analyzer generally provided consistent HRY estimates, it tended to slightly underestimate values compared to traditional methods, with a mean bias of -3 and a strong correlation (r > 0.90) between the two approaches. The findings suggest that the MachVision analyzer could serve as a reliable, rapid alternative for assessing rice milling quality, although further calibration and validation are necessary to ensure accuracy across different cultivars and milling conditions.
